Whatsapp: Detect if you have been blocked

First of all: WhatsApp is not a 100% secure way to determine whether you have been blocked by one of your contacts. But there are two indications that can speak for it. In this practical tip, we will show you how to check these two signs.

WhatsApp: How to tell if you may have been blocked

If one of your contacts has blocked you, your messages to this number will no longer be delivered by WhatsApp. In addition, the online status of this contact is no longer visible to you in the chat window. You can take advantage of these clues and at least check whether you have not been blocked. You have to check these two points:

• Is the timestamp "Online" or "Last online" displayed in the chat window of the corresponding contact? If not, the contact may have blocked you. He could also have deactivated the "Last seen timestamp" manually in the chat settings.
• How many check marks are used to mark messages in WhatsApp that you send to your contact? Two check marks mean that the message has been delivered to your chat partner's cell phone. However, if you only see a tick, your message has been sent to the WhatsApp server, but has not been forwarded to the contact. This does not necessarily mean that you have been blocked, but it can also be the case if the chat partner has switched off their cell phone, is in a deadlock, or their prepaid credit has been used up.
